So is stir fried cauliflower. I do par boil it/blanch it because even
though I don't want cooked to mush I also don't care for still crisp
vegetables. Might as well eat them raw, and I don't want to do that.

Roasted cauliflower is great.

I bake sweet potatoes and treat them just like baked russets. I've
never boiled a sweet potato in my life. I've never boiled butternut
squash, either. Split and roasted, brushed with oil and seasonings... yum!
